I decided to try a different form of poetry called Kimo: 3 lines, no rhymes. 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.
There is a comfort that comes with the old
routines rooted in the sweet
memories of days past.

I rustle through the carpet of leaves as patterns of thought overwrite family history. Unrevealed volitions rise from the chthonic depths of spirit as the ungrateful son I never was becomes the daughter of Gaya I am.

#Inthosedays
We could sit in a daze
Repeating tv phrases
Memorizing each others faces
Making love in different places
Those days are replaced with
Responsibilities and no bandwidth
Still the only one I want to stand with
Look forward to future plans with
And always dance with

In the graveyard
classic segmentations
between the rich and poor
those that gave their lives
those that stayed at home
but shoulder to shoulder
we find strangers
from strange lands
fighting and dying
shoulder to shoulder
no imaginary story
just war, no glory

I wasn’t specifically thinking of King Lear when writing, but in hindsight, it feels like a perfect reference to lean into.

How deep into the channels
of memory to go
‘til nightmare’s seeds
whisper “no”
or fantasy’s fingers beckon “play”
to love’s sweet bitters gone away
or to those days when life felt sure
and you believed in evermore
where laughter lived
without the need
of over shoulder
unsure peeks

We are made of stardust
fragments of the cosmos drifted through time, now gather within us. Stars are born, blinding us others fade into silence a fluid dance. The universe breathes
through each heartbeat We are both ancient, and yet to come,
a beautiful, fleeting eternity.
